Boston Red Sox star David Ortiz gives fans a good laugh in Lyft's "Under Cover" video
David Ortiz may be known in Boston as "Big Papi" — the man who has brought home three championships, including the first World Series title in 86 years — but to a few unsuspecting Lyft riders, he was just Donnie.
Following in the footsteps of Demi Lovato, DJ Khaled, and Shaquille O’Neal, the legendary baseball star, who is retiring at the end of the season, threw on a disguise and picked up some Lyft passengers, according to an article today.
The Lyft video, entitled "Under Cover", featuring David Ortiz, aired today with the Red Sox set to clinch the American League East title tonight if they can beat the New York Yankees.
In the video Ortiz does hint of his "dislike" for New York. He also tells passengers that he does not enjoy going on walks, and that he was going to the Red Sox game that night. He nods in agreement when one of the women says she finds baseball games to be too long, "me, too!" and then laughs when she says "they are more interesting if you can get drunk at the game."
